E11 — Type 2 diabetes mellitus
Non-billable headerICD-10-CM
E11 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for type 2 diabetes mellitus. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.
Excludes1 — never code together
These conditions cannot occur together. Billing both on the same encounter is a denial.
- diabetes mellitus due to underlying condition (E08.-)
- drug or chemical induced diabetes mellitus (E09.-)
- gestational diabetes (O24.4-)
- neonatal diabetes mellitus (P70.2)
- postpancreatectomy diabetes mellitus (E13.-)
- postprocedural diabetes mellitus (E13.-)
- secondary diabetes mellitus NEC (E13.-)
- type 1 diabetes mellitus (E10.-)

- insulin resistant diabetes (mellitus)
Other codes that can never be billed with E11
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at E11. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading E11 alone.
- E11.AType 2 diabetes mellitus without complications in remission
- E87.2Acidosis
- E09Drug or chemical induced diabetes mellitus
- E08Diabetes mellitus due to underlying condition
- E10Type 1 diabetes mellitus
- E11.9Type 2 diabetes mellitus without complications
- E16.1Other hypoglycemia
- E16.2Hypoglycemia, unspecified
Risk adjustment
E11 does not map to an HCC and does not risk-adjust under CMS-HCC V28. That is normal — most ICD-10 codes do not. It still needs to be coded correctly; it just will not move a RAF score.
Code to one of these instead E11
